I've saved up for today, and you didn't let me down...
loaded up the goods, and took them into town...
The begger rejected; that was his loss..waved me away, said no thanks, couldn't give a toss.
So off I hopped, to the corner store; I like their cardamom tea...
I like these Nepalese very much, they are always good to me.
Told him what I was doing;this time I am not rejected...
I know when he gets to open it up, he'll get more than he expected!
One down-one to go:
I love this stuff, if the truth be known...
It's not that busy in the mall: I take a seat, and erect my sign:
Bibles Free? for only a short time.
An hour goes by; not a bite.
But there is this boy in my peripheral site- jumping around like he had some ADHD; puckered up his courage and hear what he said to me:
"Be still and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10
My day was made: I said to him; would you like the last one? "Yes sir." with a grin.
You see inside the pages was my yearly tithe. Two worthy recipients, two more for his bride.

Makes the heart burst with fearsome joy. That Word hovered about the whole of last week- what are the chances!🙏🏻🕊️
A good poem on its own with good rhyme and continuity of story but it is the unexpected ending that makes it a fave
A very well written and crafted write, with a wonderful ending, enjoyed the read
Wow! What a poem and what an ending. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏
I guess I should comment, God knows when I will next get in!
This is my encouragement from my gloom of yesterday.
All his promises are yes and amen, what more can I say,
Except I am a looney, that dances to his tune...
I love you all, I hope that\'s clear
I am over the moon xxx
That is clear, my friend. I am sorry you are having trouble getting on here. Hope that clears up, whatever it is. As for being looney, someone once said, "We all go a little mad sometimes." Now, if you tell me you are managing an off-road motel while caring for your invalid "mother", I will get concerned. Short of that, you are in the cuckoos nest with the rest of us, my friend. No judgments here. I am absolutely nuts.🤣 And amen to dancing to God's tune. Nothing wrong with that, in my book. Certainly nothing wrong with it per the Living Book, either. 😊 I pray you have a good day and be well. 🖤🙏
Thank you.
You are most welcome, my friend.
